The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in undulating pasture. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as an oval-shaped earthwork. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly trapezoidal-shaped earthwork. A possible medieval ringwork (WM030-073----) lies c. 140m to SSW. Monument is visible today as a roughly D-shaped tree-lined enclosure (approx. diam. 43m N-S) which is defined by a linear field boundary running NW-SE along the W side, on Digital Globe aerial photography. E perimeter of monument is incorporated into a modern house plot.
